 Luc Perkins | * How extensible is mmdoc? I remember playing around with it and I like it that it's lightweight, but how trivial/non-trivial would it be to provide things like admonitions, headings that are linkable on hover, TOCs, footnotes, and other not-quite-standard-Markdown-but-nonetheless-widely-used things? | 21:24:54 |
| Luc Perkins | As far as I can tell, cmark is fairly rigid | 21:26:04 |
| Luc Perkins | (but I barely know C so my comb through the cmark codebase shouldn't be taken as final 😄) | 21:26:45 |
 ryantm | It already supports admonitions (:::), though not all the formats used by Nixpkgs right now, like it doesn't support anchors inside admonitions. | 22:41:21 |
| ryantm | Headers are already linkable. TOCs is the primary way it works, you have to specify the TOC of each page included. No footnote support currently. https://ryantm.github.io/mmdoc/usage/#usage | 22:42:43 |
| ryantm | The parsers for these various addons are at https://github.com/ryantm/mmdoc/blob/main/src/parse.c | 22:43:48 |
| ryantm | cmark has this way of hooking into its renderer to provide your own stuff: https://github.com/ryantm/mmdoc/blob/5f5a2734595cf42167cef2bb3c0e61cdc0185119/src/render.c#L453 | 22:47:42 |

| Luc Perkins | Okie doke! Not arguing for or against, just curious | 00:32:46 |
